I didn't think much of this game when I first played it, years later and after finishing it, I do think there's something I do see now but honestly it doesn't go any further than "oh that's neat" It's basically like Castlevania 3 except it's good, except we already have a Castlevania 3 that's good and that's called Akumajou Densetsu. This one though, idk its just kind of short and not very interesting. I think the multiple pathways for each level kind of feels pointless when only sometimes you'll find a hidden goodie. And with no real way to backtrack after beating the game other than completely altering your save file using the "curse of the moon" rewind feature, it just seems like a very bite sized game with not a lot of substance. Music and Spritework is amazing though.
But this one is just ok.
